Coastal Excellence: High-End Home Remodeling in Miami, Florida

Remodeling a home in Miami requires a unique combination of luxury design expertise and strict compliance with stringent coastal building codes. South Florida’s climate—defined by high humidity, salt air, and the constant threat of hurricanes—demands materials and construction methods that prioritize wind resistance, moisture control, and corrosion prevention. Schultz Remodeling specializes in turning waterfront and high-density urban properties into stunning, resilient homes that embrace the indoor-outdoor lifestyle.

Miami-Dade Permitting and Hurricane Code

Miami-Dade County has some of the strictest building codes in the nation, primarily centered around Hurricane and Wind Mitigation. Any project that alters the structure, envelope, or electrical/plumbing systems requires permitting through the Miami-Dade Building Department.

• The Florida Building Code (FBC): We strictly adhere to the FBC, which mandates specific requirements for everything from roof nailing patterns to window and door impact ratings.
• Impact Windows and Doors: All Window & Door Replacement projects must utilize Miami-Dade County Product Control Approved Impact-Rresistant glass. These windows are built to withstand high-velocity hurricane zones (HVHZ), a requirement we never compromise on.
• Coastal Construction: For properties near the water, we utilize corrosion-resistant fasteners and materials to prevent damage from salt exposure.

Climate-Specific Design: Salt, Wind, and Water

The tropical maritime climate dictates a specialized approach to material selection.

Roofing and Wind Resistance

For Roofing Services, the integrity of the installation is paramount. We use a sealed roof deck and specialized underlayment, often coupled with barrel tile or metal roofing, installed with hurricane clips and a precise nailing pattern to meet the highest wind-load standards. This significantly increases your home's resilience and often qualifies for insurance premium reductions.

Moisture and Indoor-Outdoor Living

Miami design blurs the line between inside and out. We specialize in installing large-format sliding glass doors and folding doors that offer both seamless transition and impact protection. Inside, we prioritize waterproof flooring (like porcelain tile or LVP) for Kitchen Remodeling and Bathroom Remodeling to handle humidity and high traffic.

Design Trends and Cost Ranges (2025 Estimates)

Miami remodeling is synonymous with luxury: minimalist lines, bright white or cool gray palettes, and sophisticated modern finishes.

• Kitchen Remodel (High-End): $60,000 - $120,000+. Features include glossy, flat-panel European cabinetry, waterfall quartz countertops, and integrated smart appliances.
• Bathroom Remodel (Master Suite): $30,000 - $60,000. Projects focus on large, open wet rooms, linear drains, and high-flow fixtures for a resort feel.
• Waterproofing & Exterior: Due to the complexity of the code, labor and materials for exterior envelope projects (like impact windows and stucco repair) typically command the highest prices.
